CHINESE GOLD COINS

Chinese Gold Coins, expertly crafted by the Chinese Mint, have been an epitome of excellence for over two millennia. With the modern Chinese Mint coming into the limelight for its unparalleled commemorative coin collections since 1979, it's been an incredible journey from celebrating the 30th year of the People’s Republic of China to the world-renowned Chinese Panda Gold Coins and the Gold Chinese Lunar Series.

The Tale of The Chinese Mint

Tracing back to the tumultuous times of World War II, the saga of the Chinese Mint is marked by division, resilience, and evolution. Post the war, while Taiwan emerged as the refuge for the Chinese nationalist government, the revolutionary communist force under Mao Zedong had its battles. With the war's conclusion, the Chinese Mint and the Bank of China transitioned to Taiwan. Concurrently, the modern Chinese Mint for the People’s Republic of China was reborn, although its architectural heritage from the Qing Dynasty since 1896 was intact. Now, the legacy continues with the China Banknote Printing and Minting Corporation, operating from Nanjing, Shanghai, and Shenyang.

The Art of Chinese Gold Coins

Diverse and distinctive, Chinese Gold Coins are offered in a plethora of sizes, designs, and denominations:

• Chinese Gold Pandas: Debuting in 1982, these coins have transformed in size and design, but their allure remains consistent. Notably, in 2002, the design was constant from the previous year, but collector feedback reinstated the tradition of annual design changes.
  
  
• Chinese Gold Lunar Series: An embodiment of Chinese culture, these coins represent the iconic animals from the Chinese Lunar Calendar. With series released in various sizes and designs since 1981, their unique shapes and styles, from scalloped to fan-shaped, add to their allure.
  
  
• Dimensions and Weight Transformations: The Chinese Mint, in a significant move in 2016, transitioned from the traditional troy-ounce system to the metric system, with gold coin sizes now denoted in grams.
